Welcome to a glimpse into my chaotic mind.

It's a scary place, but somebody has to blog about it. Might as well be me :-)

This blog mostly focuses on my journey to get pregnant - for the first time - at 41 years old. I've been on the journey for over 2 yrs now - so I just want to share what I'm going through - with hopes that others can share their success stories with me!

This is me waiting to get pregnant:

This is me pining for success:

This is my spouse - since he does all the cooking (and the laundry, and the cleaning):

This is me - because I don't have to do the laundry (or the cooking or the cleaning):

Enjoy!

Anyone Use Fertilitea Or PreSeed? Posted 03-18-2008 at 11:10 AM by Professor Chaos No success again with IUI and Follistim - in spite of having 6-8 follicles stimulated and dumped upon by millions of healthy sperm. I'm skipping fertility treatments for a month. Been through 7 months worth with no luck - so I'm going to try Fertilitea and PreSeed. Anyone out there have success with either - or both - of these products? Looking for inspiration! Professor Chaos

The first month, a nice, elderly nurse named Sandy did the honors - insert speculum...insert "the goods"...withdraw ...done. (the closest DH will... Continue reading... Professor Chaos

Update On My Cycle Day 9 Posted 02-27-2008 at 07:47 AM by Professor Chaos I started my second round of Follistim shots this past Saturday (my birthday present - woo hoo! More exciting than a shot of tequila at this point in my life!). Last month, they had me on 150 units of "the goods". That stimulated 1 follicle - which grew into an adult egg... and then took a nose dive off of my uterine cliff and ended up as AF. In scientific words - not pregnant. In the cartoon world that is my mind - egg-suicide.... Continue reading... Professor Chaos

A Little About Me Posted 02-26-2008 at 10:04 AM by Professor Chaos I'll try to keep this short and sweet - but I tend to ramble off the beaten path from time to time, so please bear (beer?) with me... I just turned 41 years old this past Saturday (wow - I can't believe I'm in my 40s now! I remember when I was in my 20s... and the television show "Thirty Something" was on... the spouse and I used to think THEY were old. Now I've surpassed that!). We have been trying to conceive for just over 2 yrs now. Due to various "life... Continue reading... Professor Chaos
